SUMMARY: Cells are organized as a hierarchy of macromolecular assemblies, ranging from small protein complexes to entire organelles. Various technologies have been developed to elucidate subcellular architecture at different scales, such as mass spectrometry approaches for mapping protein biophysical interactions and immunofluorescence imaging for mapping protein localization. We present the Cell Mapping Toolkit, which is designed to systematically integrate data from different modalities into unified hierarchical maps of subcellular organization. The toolkit facilitates an end-to-end pipeline including processing datasets, integrating modalities, and visualizing the final cell map with rich metadata including provenance documentation at each step. The Cell Mapping Toolkit provides researchers with tools for analyzing, integrating, and visualizing diverse protein datasets in a robust and reproducible framework. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: The code is freely available and is hosted on GitHub at https://github.com/idekerlab/cellmaps_pipeline. Comprehensive documentation and practical examples are provided at https://cellmaps-pipeline.readthedocs.io/.

The data deluge in biology calls for computational approaches that can integrate multiple datasets of different types to build a holistic view of biological processes or structures of interest. An emerging paradigm in this domain is the unsupervised learning of data embeddings that can be used for downstream clustering and classification tasks. While such approaches for integrating data of similar types are becoming common, there is scarcer work on consolidating different data modalities such as network and image information. Here, we introduce DICE (Data Integration through Contrastive Embedding), a contrastive learning model for multi-modal data integration. We apply this model to study the subcellular organization of proteins by integrating protein-protein interaction data and protein image data measured in HEK293 cells. We demonstrate the advantage of data integration over any single modality and show that our framework outperforms previous integration approaches.
